Taper Week/Getting Excited

I have been super busy lately, so I am really sorry if I haven't been reading all my blogs or writing much. My family blog, which is mostly a picture site, doesn't have any pictures on it for about a whole month! Yikes! I did do all the text so it is just a matter of plugging in the pics, but that will take HOURS, but at least with the text done, I can figure out where the pics need to go a month after the fact! Also, this post has no pictures in it, Sorry about that. You got a lot from vacation on that last one.

Anyway, I am enjoying my taper for Muncie. I am feeling a bit nuts for scheduling this race in the middle of a move. Seriously, what was I thinking? Here is what I was thinking and you can tell me how silly it is:

Week before Muncie- taper, thus giving me time to pack
Week after Muncie- recovery, thus giving me time to sit around and supervise the movers.

Perfect, right? WRONG! We spent all last week recovering from vacation and ramping up training, as well as cleaning. We spent the weekend celebrating the 4th, which has left us with very little time to organize before the movers come. We have a whole storage unit full of stuff still to sort and no way to get it to our place (all at the same time). Ugh. We have also sold our washer and dryer, and need to get that out too. Yuck.

Well, at least I learned this bit of good news today:

THERE IS A NOODLES & COMPANY IN MUNCIE!!!!

This is my favorite Friday night carbo loading spot. This is sounding like a better idea already!
